The Crazy Son-In-Law

At this moment, Xiao Shun had no idea that the Old School Society was about to unite two veterans to take him down. He was lying in bed, talking on the phone with Yao Cen, not having time for those trivial matters.

“When are you coming back?” Yao Cen’s voice was gentle, with a deep sense of concern in every word.

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Shun replied, “It should be a while longer.”

There were still a few matters to settle in Eastbrook, at least another four or five days to stay there. Hearing that it would be another four or five days, Yao Cen was immediately furious.

“Why do you still need so much time? I’ll give you four days, and if you don’t come back by then, don’t bother coming back at all!”

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Xiao Shun chuckled. Considering it was his wife’s way of expressing her longing for him, he didn’t take it too seriously. He obediently replied, “Yes, my dear wife!”

Yao Cen wasn’t buying it and let out an angry snort on the other end of the phone.

“Don’t try to be cute with me. If you can’t come back and see me, I’ll give you a good talking to!”

Xiao Shun felt that if he continued on this topic, he would end up being lectured severely, so he tactfully changed the subject.

“How’s the situation with the Tan family going?”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

As soon as the topic was raised, Yao Cen’s spirits lifted, momentarily forgetting to reprimand her husband, and she eagerly began to speak.

“Wang Pangzi is indeed a genius. With his business strategies and Xiao Mei’s understanding of the Tan Group, we are now in a winning position!”

“Xiao Mei?” Xiao Shun was surprised. Wasn’t Xiao Mei previously suffering from memory loss due to his acupuncture? How could she now be helping Yao Cen?

After a moment of thought, he quickly understood and thought to himself, “Love is truly powerful!” It was clear that Xiao Mei’s memory recovery was thanks to Qin Yu’s help.

It’s said that love is the strongest force in the world. With this force, it wasn’t difficult to help someone recover their memory. Since Xiao Mei was now helping at the company, it was proof that she had completely let go of the past. This was indeed comforting for Xiao Shun.

Just as he was feeling sentimental, Yao Cen continued, “By the way, the reason the Tan family is in their current predicament is also thanks to Tan Guangqi’s wife turning against him!”

Not long ago, Tan Guangqi’s wife, Xiao Ruo, saw the situation was unfavorable and immediately chose to divorce her husband. This caused a great deal of harm to Tan Guangqi and led to a strategic oversight in making arrangements.

Taking advantage of this oversight, Yao Cen and the others instantly seized the opportunity and gained the upper hand in this business war. Taking down the Tan family was now only a matter of time!

After listening to this, Xiao Shun sighed, “Husband and wife should share the same forest, facing the storm together.” As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Cen immediately expressed her position.

“No matter what you become in the future, I will never leave you.”

Xiao Shun smiled slightly and felt a ripple of emotion in his heart. Such straightforward words from his wife were truly sweet.

Just to hear it again, he pretended, “What did you just say… I didn’t hear it clearly!”

“Good words are not said a second time.”

Yao Cen said softly, continuing with a serious tone, “Originally, it would have been a matter of these two days to take down the Tan family. However, at the last moment, someone from the Wei family appeared to support the Tan family. Her name is Wei Rong.”

“Oh, it’s her. I didn’t expect her to get involved with the Tan family. But it doesn’t matter,” said Xiao Shun indifferently.

After a night of silence, the next morning was clear in Eastbrook. After finishing his meditation, Xiao Shun opened the window, breathed in the fresh air, and felt refreshed. With Ning Zhiyuan and Hu Bugui already back at the “Hanging Flask Inn,” only Xiao Shun and Cao Wanqing were left in the room. Although it was just the two of them, they were both principled people and would not engage in any romantic affairs.

After ordering breakfast, Xiao Shun knocked on Cao Wanqing’s door. Soon, a casually dressed woman appeared, her natural beauty shining through even without makeup.

Seeing Xiao Shun staring at her, Cao Wanqing rolled her eyes. “What are you looking at? I’ve already washed my face and brushed my teeth!”

Xiao Shun chuckled, “I was just thinking about how thick of a pair of glasses the heavens must have worn when sculpting such perfect lines on your face!”

Blushing, Cao Wanqing felt a sweet satisfaction. Just a few words from the one she secretly admired made her day.

Xiao Shun’s earlier words were just his personal opinion on beauty, not an attempt to please Cao Wanqing. Whether or not it could be misinterpreted wasn’t his concern.

Eating porridge and Chinese donuts provided by the hotel, the atmosphere between them suddenly became a bit awkward. Xiao Shun was too focused on eating to speak, and Cao Wanqing couldn’t think of a suitable topic to talk about.

Breaking the silence, Cao Wanqing spoke first. “How’s your contact with Mr. and Mrs. Xiang going? You promised me last time.”

Xiao Shun reassured her, “Don’t worry, I’ve already asked Ye Nantian to get in touch. I’ll make sure you attend, but it’s up to you to impress the right people.”

Proudly nodding, Cao Wanqing said, “With my acting skills, there won’t be any problem!”

“Indeed, I noticed that. Your expression changes at the Scarletfall Scenic Area yesterday were Oscar-worthy,” Xiao Shun agreed with a deep and meaningful tone.

When they met at the scenic area, Cao Wanqing’s face changed so many times in an instant, and Xiao Shun couldn’t keep count. Her skill in managing those expressions was truly worthy of an award!

“Don’t think I don’t know you’re teasing me!” Cao Wanqing glared at Xiao Shun, about to retaliate. However, at that moment, Xiao Shun’s phone rang.
